Thyroid Support (or the Lack Thereof)I've been trying different supplements that promise to boost energy levels or support thyroid function. And I've learned a few things so far -- though it takes some time to make a thorough assessment of any supplement.For one thing, the ~$10 "Thyroid Complex" I was taking for a couple weeks -- the one I bought from Vitamin Shoppe (after reading a series of very positive customer reviews) -- has landed on my list of supplements...

Why five?Quick answer? I couldn't think of seven multi-product affiliate programs that I like well enough to brag about -- though I can think of some courses with affiliate programs that I could add to the list.And I like the number 5 better than the number 6 (Sorry, Shareasale. You still matter to me -- mostly because of Tailwind -- and maybe someday you will be in my top 5). I'll share a list of those courses at the end of this post....

Self-care is important -- even for reclusive writers (like me and so many others). Even if we'd rather spend the day clacking away at the keyboard than interacting with other humans, there comes a time when we know we need to give our mortal coils what they need.And that's more than food, clothing, caffeine, alcohol, and the occasional pit stop. Apparently. But before you pick up that decorative basket full of bath bombs and scented Epsom salts for your reclusive writer...

Allow me to share my own experience with this service and the products they share. To start, I'm glad I gave it a try.My Birch Box ExperimentI subscribed to Birch Box for a couple months to see if the five samples in each monthly box were worth the $10 per box (to me).And while I did get some...

What planner will work best for you?Are you in need of a good blogging planner? Maybe you're looking for one, but you're not sure what features it needs to have to help you make the most of your blog? There are many options available (I looked for them on Amazon), and unless you know what you're looking for in a blogging planner, it can be overwhelming.First of all, what you need depends on where you are as a blogger and what...

Digging into the Genius Blogger's ToolkitI wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t considered the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit well worth the price -- for me as well as for my readers here at HypothyroidWriter.com. I've been looking through my bundle (I bought it early -- affiliate perk), and I'm going nuts! I've found several things, so far, that I was thinking of buying, anyway, and now I have them for less than if I'd bought them separately! Plus, I've found a...
